Till Death Do Us Part

I want to love you before we wither away,
Before we’re old and our hair turns grey.
When the beauty within,
Has the passion of the beauty on out -
Still a spark of youth,
Of zest and vigor -
Our essence come to life

I know near the end what matters is only
Between us and our God
The closer we get,
It’s only his love that we’ve got

Body fails, and for it to not pain us,
Spirit needs to climb
But now you’re so handsome,
I want to love you - 
Before we’re content,
Content to leave this love behind
